Steam News announces they are offering a 10% discount on pre-purchases of Alien Breed: Impact before next week's release of the new installment in this science fiction arcade-shooter series. They also offer playable demo of the game to see if this appeals to you. Here's the description of the game: "Alien Breedô Impact is an explosive science fiction arcade-shooter that resurrects a much revered franchise with an epic story, swarms of highly intelligent alien enemies, high-impact weapons, highly detailed and rich environments; all implemented with superb technology in a state-of-the-art gaming experience. In addition to the thrilling single-player campaign mode, the game also offers a relentless, action-packed, online two-player co-operative battle mode."

I loved top down shooters like shadowgrounds or alien shooter. This game would have been so much better with proper mouse aiming, I just plain hate straight console port's and their controller based control scheme... good price tho

Not a big fan of the clunky controls, and I know it's a popular effect, but I think I spent more time looking at a blurred screen than a clear one. Nearly every action and attack makes the screen shake and blur, and coupled with the aiming system, it makes it feel like you're wearing oven mitts. It feels old-school in the worst kind of way. I might pick it up at the next Christmas sale for $2, but it doesn't seem worth even this low ($13.50) of a full price.

It's a poor console port. It has mouse-based turning, but NOT aiming. In other words, your mouse aim is translated into joystick inputs. This results in your character lagging behind your mouse input. It's very annoying.

Why do people continually bash good games that are pretty damn cheap to buy. I mean really you guys are such a bunch a whiners its pathetic. The game play is not horrible as some might lead you to believe. This is actually a very fun game. And donít be fooled by the 3 maps that are coop. they are actually 3 maps broken up into smaller bits and objective driven. The game play will last you a few hours.

$13.50 for this game is a steal, stop all the bitching, I swear a developer give you guys a very cheaply priced game and you guys still do nothing but bitch about it. I guess if itís not free itís not worth supporting right?

Seeing as the game is a Steam exclusive, I doubt you'll find a non-Steam demo.

The demo has a lot of "Please buy the full version" pop-ups during gameplay and the gameplay isn't that spectacular either. You can fairly easily find free flash games that does it as good/better, so the only two reasons to buy this would be a) OMG! GR4PHIX0RZ! and b) OMG! Alien Breed!

That's a good looking Top Down game, they actually using DX11 effects there, maybe the first one?

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.That is easy.All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.It works the same way in any country.
